That isn't very pleasant to fix, as it requires a separate layer per visualization type. With a recently introduced API for shape ordering, it can be simpler, though. @MichaelMauderer @kazcw, you might have some helpful advice here.

Layer per visualization is a bad idea, it will kill the performance. New layers are also not a solution here. If both visualizations are in HTML/JS this is fixable. If one of the visualizations (or its text) is in WebGL, I think this is wontfix. I don't like it, but either we have this or way worse performance :(

[MichaelMauderer]

In this specific case, it might be easier, as both of them are JS visualization using HTML elements. As are most of our visualizations, and the backgrounds. So this might be easy to "hotfix". But the general case for EnsoGL visualizations might be tricker, as we'd want the background of each instance to occlude the whole other visualization.

[wdanilo]

If both visualizations are in HTML and their backgrounds are in HTML as well, then yes, this should be fixable. But I think this is low-priority now, taking into consideration other bugs we have.
